I personally don't think your idea was wrong. It's just that I don't
know what can be done. The problem is that the type objects (those which
don't implement java.xmlx.bind.Element) don't know tag names. So they
always need to be a child of something else to be properly marshalled.
An RI-specific solution is for us to provide a generic "element wrapper",
which you can use like this:
Object myJaxbObject = ....;
if( myJaxbObject instanceof javax.xml.bind.Element )
marshaller.marshal(myJaxbObject);
else {
ElementWrapper ew = new ElementWrapper("uri","local",myJaxbObject);
marshaller.marshal(ew);
}
You still need to give it the element name, though. Does this solve your
problem?
